The NBA on TNT's Thursday night doubleheader was a snoozer last night. First the Bulls beat the Rockets by 24 points. Then the Thunder beat the Lakers by 29. What happened to flex scheduling in the NBA? At this point, nationally televised Lakers games are being used for torturing criminals.

At least the Chuckster owned his sleepiness, unlike another famous sports personality who did the same thing. Only Inside the NBA could turn one of their panelists falling asleep into a funny, productive segment.
